Ribeiro is best known for his role as Carlton on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”

"It won’t be very different," Ribeiro told EW of his new role. "It’s really about assisting the videos not trying to overpower the videos with your comedy. But I have a different energy than Tom does and I’m very animated and energetic, and some of that will absolutely come through. I’m sure it will be dance-related in some form . . . For me to able to come in and replace Tom, who’s my idol in the hosting world, will be a challenge but one that I feel excited to be a part of.”

When questioned about his favorite “home videos,” Ribeiro said, “My favorite is when people do things to hurt themselves. I just love watching people attempt to do something that they absolutely should not attempt to do and wipe out. I love it.”

Fans of "America's Home Videos" and Ribeiro soon took to Twitter to discuss the new appointment.
